Bible Question: who was zebedee |
Bible Answer: Greetings buffalo! In addition to what has already been mentioned the name Zebedee means Jehovah is gift or the gift of God. He was also probably well known in the area since his sons were so often identified as somes of Zebedee. It is noted that his wife contributed contributed to Jesus' ministry (Matt 27:55-56, Mark 15:40-41). There is nothing in the gospels that says he hindered either his sons or his wife from following Jesus. It is possible that he also followed Jesus but the bible makes no mention of it. prayon |
